The Company’s lead clinical program, IMNN-001, is a DNA-based immunotherapy for the localized treatment of advanced ovarian cancer that has completed Phase II clinical development studies. IMNN-001 works by instructing the body to produce safe and durable levels of powerful cancer-fighting molecules, such as interleukin-12 and interferon gamma, at the tumor site. Additionally, the Company has entered into a first-in-human study of its COVID-19 booster vaccine (IMNN-101). We will continue to leverage these modalities and to advance the technological frontier of plasmid DNA to better serve patients with difficult-to-treat conditions.

Previous wording
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of gynecological malignancies among women with more than 60% of women dying within five years of diagnosis. This poor outcome is due in part to the lack of effective prevention and early detection strategies. There were approximately 20,000 new cases of ovarian cancer in the U.S. in 2021 with an estimated 13,000 deaths. Mortality rates for ovarian cancer declined very little in the last 40 years due to the unavailability of detection tests and improved treatments. Most women with ovarian cancer are not diagnosed until Stages III or IV, when the disease has spread outside the pelvis to the abdomen and areas beyond, causing swelling and pain. With the five-year survival rates for Stages III and IV at 41% and 20%, respectively, there remains a need for a therapy that not only reduces the recurrence rate but also meaningfully improves overall survival. Patients whose cancer recurs or progresses after initially responding to surgery and first-line chemotherapy have been divided into one of the two groups based on the time from completion of platinum therapy to disease recurrence or progression. This time period is referred to as platinum-free interval. The platinum-sensitive group has a platinum-free interval of longer than six months. This group generally responds to additional treatment with platinum-based therapies. The platinum resistant group has a platinum-free interval of shorter than six months and is resistant to additional platinum-based treatments. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, topotecan, and bevacizumab are the only approved second-line therapies for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The overall response rate for these therapies is 10% to 20% with median overall survival (“OS”) of 11 to 12 months. Additionally, 10% to 15% of ovarian cancer cases nationwide are a result of germline or somatic BRCA mutations. With cognizance of tumor genetics, practice has shifted to include targeted agents in ovarian cancer treatment.

IMNN-001 is a DNA-based immunotherapeutic drug candidate for the localized treatment of ovarian cancer by intraperitoneally administering an IL-12 plasmid formulated with our proprietary TheraPlas delivery system. In this DNA-based approach, the immunotherapy is combined with a standard chemotherapy drug, which can potentially achieve better clinical outcomes than with chemotherapy alone. We believe that increases in IL-12 concentrations at tumor sites for several days after a single administration could create a potent immune environment against tumor activity and that a direct killing of the tumor with concomitant use of cytotoxic chemotherapy could result in a more robust and durable antitumor response than chemotherapy alone. We believe the rationale for local therapy with IMNN-001 is based on the following:

In December 2024, the Company announced additional clinical data from ongoing analyses of results from the Phase 2 OVATION 2 Study. The updated results, based on an additional seven months of patient monitoring, showed the hazard ratio (HR) decreased from 0.74 to 0.69 in the ITT population, with an increase in median overall survival (OS) from 11.1 to 13 months following treatment with IMNN-001 plus standard-of-care (SoC) neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) versus SoC alone. More than one-third of patients in the trial survived more than 36 months from the point of study enrollment, with 62% of those surviving patients from the IMNN-001 treatment arm and 38% from the SoC arm. Over 10% of trial participants have reached 48 months or beyond. In April 2025, the Company announced that an IMNN-001 abstract was accepted for oral presentation at the 2025 ASCO annual meeting. The Company also plans to submit the results for publication in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

In June 2025, the Company announced positive data from the Company’s Phase 2 OVATION 2 Study showing that treatment with IMNN-001 in women with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer resulted in consistent, clinically meaningful improvements in several key endpoints across treatment groups, including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), chemotherapy response score and surgical response. Treatment with IMNN-001 also showed a favorable safety profile, with no reports of serious immune-related adverse events. The full results were presented in an oral presentation at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, and simultaneously published in the peer-reviewed journal Gynecologic Oncology. The data presented highlighted the consistent results achieved across all treatment groups, demonstrating: Median 13-month increase in OS (46 vs. 33 months) and median 3-month increase in PFS (14.9 vs. 11.9 months) in IMNN-001 treatment arm compared to standard of care alone. Better therapeutic effect observed with IMNN-001 treatment compared to the control arm (p=0.0375), as shown by mean 6.5-month extension of time free of progression or death (PFS + OS) captured in totality of treatment effect. Use of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as part of maintenance therapy further enhanced outcomes, with median OS not yet reached in IMNN-001 treatment arm after >5 years compared to 37 months on standard of care. Chemotherapy response score highlights double the response rate of a complete or near complete histopathological response following treatment with 26.1% in the IMNN-001 treatment arm compared to 13.0% in the control arm. Surgical response rate of no macroscopic residual tumor left after surgery 64.6% in the IMNN-001 treatment arm compared to 52.1% in the control arm. Hazard ratio of 0.78 in study participants who are homologous recombination proficient (HRP) and hazard ratio of 0.42 in women positive for homologous recombination deficiency (HRD+), including BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, suggesting increased therapeutic activity. IMNN-001 was generally safe and well tolerated, with no reports of cytokine release syndrome, systemic toxicity or serious immune-related adverse events.

Since inception, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have financed our operations primarily through the net proceeds from the sales of equity, credit facilities and amounts received under product licensing agreements. The process of developing IMNN-001 and other drug candidates and technologies requires significant research and development work and clinical trial studies, as well as significant manufacturing and process development efforts. We expect these activities, together with our general and administrative expenses, to result in significant operating losses for the foreseeable future.
